New Delhi. There is voting for the assembly elections in Karnataka tomorrow. Earlier, Hindu organizations Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have announced to recite Hanuman Chalisa across the country. Today, workers of both the organizations will recite Hanuman Chalisa in temples and other places across the country. The reason for this is the election manifesto of the Congress in Karnataka. In this manifesto, the Congress had said that if it comes to power, it will take strict action and ban hate-mongering organizations like Popular Front of India (PFI) and Bajrang Dal. This election promise of Congress has backfired. Now a day before voting in Karnataka, Bajrang Dal and VHP are going to make it an issue.
VHP General Secretary Milind Parande said that we have decided to recite Hanuman Chalisa to give wisdom to Congress and other such organizations. He alleged that Congress advocates and propagates terrorists and anti-national forces. Parande said that Karnataka Congress made a humiliating promise to ban Bajrang Dal. After this Congress and some anti-Hindu leaders in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Himachal Pradesh also demanded a ban on Bajrang Dal. The VHP General Secretary said that a nationalist and patriotic organization like Bajrang Dal was compared with the anti-national, terrorist and violent organization PFI. Hindu society will teach a democratic lesson for this insult.
After the Congress’s promise to ban Bajrang Dal, PM Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders linked it to the insult of Bajrangbali. Modi had made people raise slogans of Bajrangbali ki Jai in his public meeting. He appealed to the people of Karnataka to take the name of Bajrangbali while voting. After being surrounded in this matter, Congress leader Veerappa Moily had said that the Karnataka government cannot impose a ban. On the other hand, senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram had said that there is no talk of banning Bajrang Dal in the party’s manifesto. Whereas, earlier it was revealed that on page number 10 of the manifesto, it has been written about banning.
